OPERATION MANUAL

Introduction
I
Introduction
The Ethernet I/F option is an interface to carry out communications with F381A/F388A(s) through an
Ethernet.
Supported functions are set value read/write, waveform read/write, hold result read, wave No. read/write,
etc.
WARNING
The F381A/F388A(s) is factory-set as follows:
・IP address (192.168.0.1)
・Subnet mask (255.255.255.0)
・Default gateway (unused)
If there is a need to change the settings of the IP address, subnet mask, and default
gateway, be sure to change the settings and then carry out wiring of Ethernet cable(s).

IP address: Set the same network address as that of the client, and set a unique
address avoiding overlap with the client.
Subnet mask: Set the same subnet mask as that of the client.
Default gateway: No particular setting is required.
②When the F381A/F388As and client exist in the same network
IP address: Set the same network address as that of the client, and set a unique
address avoiding overlap with other equipment in the network each
F381A/F388A belongs to.
Subnet mask: Set the same subnet mask as that of the client.
Default gateway: No particular setting is required.
③When the F381A/F388As and client exit in different networks
IP address: Set the same network address as that of the equipment in the
network each F381A/F388A belongs to, and set a unique address
avoiding overlap with other equipment.
Subnet mask: Set the same subnet mask as that of the equipment in the network
each F381A/F388A belongs to.
Default gateway: Set the IP address of the router.

2. Connect LAN cable(s).
For use at 10Mbps, use STP (category, 3, 4, 5) cable(s). For use at 100Mbps, use STP
(category 5) cable(s).
* UTP cable(s) can also be used, but use of STP cable(s) is recommended.
①When the F381A/F388A and client are connected in a one-to-one relationship.
Use a cross cable.

②When the F381A/F388As and client exist in the same network.
③When the F381A/F388As and client exist in different LANs.
Connect with the client through a hub, etc., by using straight cables.
3. Check that the LINK lamp is lit.
If the lamp is not lit, it is considered that the equipment (hub, host, etc.) connected with the
F381A/F388A(s) is not running normally, or the cable(s) is wired incorrectly or broken.
Check that the equipment (hub, host, etc.) connected with the F381A/F388A(s) is running
normally, and the cable(s) is wired correctly and is not broken.
4. Check the connection of the client and each F381A/F388A.
i) With the power of the F381A/F388A OFF, execute a PING command (see "・What is
PING?" on P.12.) from the client to the IP address of the turned-OFF F381A/F388A,
and check that no response is made. If a response is made, the specified IP address is in
use. Check that the IP address is not used in other equipment.
ii) Turn on the power of the F381A/F388A, and execute a PING command from the client
to the IP address of the turned-ON F381A/F388A, and check that a response is made.
If no response is made, connection between the client and F381A/F388A is not
established.
Check that the route between the equipment from which the PING command was sent
and F381A/F388A is established and that the network settings of the client and F381A/

F388A are as intended.
* Check with your network administrator for the use environment.
5. Check the establishment of connection.
Start the client software, and connect with the F381A/F388A.
Upon establishment of connection, the IP address of the connection-established equipment
is displayed under "Connect IP" on the Ethernet setting item screen of the F381A/F388A.
(If the F381A/F388A is connected with the client through a router, the address of the router
close to the F381A/F388A is displayed.)
If connection is not established, the settings of the client software may be wrong. Check the
specifications of the IP address, port number (50381 (TCP/IP), etc., for errors.
* Check with your network administrator for the use environment.

Explanation for setting
Equipment ID: Set the equipment ID.
When connecting two or more F381A/F388As to Ethernet, set each equipment ID
to identify them.
* This is the same as the equipment ID of the SD card slot option.
IP/Mask: Set the IP address and subnet mask.
- IP address
①: 1 to 223 (127 cannot be set.)
②: 0 to 255
③: 0 to 255
④: 0 to 255
* 0.0.0.0 cannot be set.
- Subnet mask
The subnet mask setting range varies according to the setting of the IP address.
